Other residents said they were shocked to wake up to police in the street after “hearing nothing” on Saturday night.

Police are carrying out house-to-house and CCTV enquiries today as the investigation continues.

Detective Inspector John Williams said: “This is the very early stage of our investigation as we seek to find out the exact circumstances, so we are initially looking to speak to anyone who saw or heard anything around 9.40pm in the Ryefield Lane area.

“I want to also appeal to anyone who saw vehicles being driven at speed close to the location of the shooting around the time, or may have captured anything on dashcams or home CCTV.
